President-elect Joe Biden has named campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon deputy chief of staff.
The Democratic operative worked on both Obama presidential runs. Prior to joining Team Biden in March, Dillon helmed the campaign of Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

She was an aide to VP-elect Kamala Harris.
